In this kitchen, we can see how a bar has been made from very fashionable bricks. The tones work beautifully with the black counter tops and finishes. The stools provide the perfect casual spot for sitting and relaxing while food is being prepared.

4. The power of contrast

When it comes to arranging your dream kitchen, keep in mind that it's the simple things that can make a space look extremely stunning. Contrasting colours, for example, are the basis of modern style. In this design, we can see how a neutral tone works in harmony with a more intense colour, resulting in a very dramatic and appealing effect.

5. Beautiful and shiny

Your kitchen bar can also be quite large, especially if you enjoy entertaining a lot of guests or if you have a big family.

As we can see in this design, the black counter tops make for a very shiny and elegant design, while there are more than enough seats for family and friends to gather around with some drinks and snacks.

8. Functionality is important

A kitchen bar not only adds to the trend and style of space, but it also adds to the functionality. It provides an extra surface for cooking and preparing food as well as extra storage, keeping your cooking area neat and tidy!
